hello,
does someone know, how to use Max/Msp patches in pd. With "open" i can choose to enable Max files, but it doesnt work. i get some messages "cant creat object ..." for the nonexisting objects but the patch doesnt open. (using OS X and Max 4.3 and pd 0.37).
it would save me a lot of work.
Thanks
tobias

You can only open Max patches in text format (*.pat). Installing Cyclone will let Pd create much more of the Max objects, that are missing. But if you get Max patches, that use, say, a lot of Jitter objects, you're out of luck. Otherwise some missing objects can be emulated a bit by providing abstractions that have the same number of in- and outlets. You still will need to write the functionality of the missing objects then.

Cyclone is here: http://suita.chopin.edu.pl/~czaja/miXed/externs/cyclone.html. Looks like there are no binaries for darwin, so you'll want to build from source.
To clarify, Pd does not emulate Max, so it might be hard to port your patches. Jitter and GUI-intensive stuff, especially. IIRC there is a "cyclist" executable that will convert binary patches to the text patches that are readable by Pd.

Thanks a lot. Can you say more about this "cyclist" executable, because i only have the max binarys and no working MaxMSP at the moment.

hi,
forget about the File/Open -> *.pat route. Start pd with the "-lib cyclone" option, create a [cyclone] object, click on it, and load _either_ a max-binary, or max-text patch, no matter how it is named.
Then, look at the console, which warns you about missing objects, and the like. Connections are preserved, though -- you are set to start cleaning up the mess.
Cyclist is more of a debug tool, actually (but nice to have around). It takes a single argument naming a max-binary file, and dumps max-text to standard output. In case you still insisted on trying the File/Open -> *.pat option, the command would be "cyclist binfname > txtfname" (modulo path specs).

hello,
first i wanna thank you for your help. my ex-max patches working well in pd.
then i have another question. unfortunaly i am using a 800x600 screen and got the problem that some (sub-)patches and most of the helppatches are bigger by default, so that i can see only a part. Also i cant scale them down or moving them up (OS X). Is there a way to make pd know that i only have a 800x600 resolution or is there a object ( like [thispatcher] in max) for setting a static patchsize?
